I get my stuff from Saginaw Control & Engineering: http://www.saginawcontrol.com/product-lines/272/273
You can buy your stuff anyplace you want.

You most likely will not need two fans, but do not put your fan on the draw end, but push the air thru.

I'll let someone else here explain that one wink

OK, waited 2 minutes, times up.

When you draw something thru, you create a lower pressure on the inside, but when you push it thru, you create a higher pressure on the inside. Go to 10,000' elevation and what do you have? Lower pressure, which has considerably less cooling capacity as something at sea level with the higher pressure. Same goes for enclosures that are generating heat. Pull it thru and there is lower pressure, push it thru and there is higher pressure.

Higher pressure = better cooling.
